flex pilates and physiotherapy
Sheffield,
Jo is a fully qualified Physiotherapist and has been working for over 17 years
in the profession treating a variety of patients to include Elite athletes,
Professional Ballet dancers, amateur sports participants and the general public
with complex pain conditions. She completed the training to become a fully
certified Modified Pilates teacher in 2003 with the Australian Physiotherapy and
Pilates Institute. Jo lives with her husband, daughter, their son and a springer
spaniel in Barnsley and loves keeping herself fit by attending Bootcamp
sessions, personal training and running. She is aiming to do her first half
marathon soon. In 2006 Jo set up Flex Pilates, originally teaching classes in
North Sheffield. Since then the business has expanded to Leeds and Barnsley with
people of all ages and abilities enjoying the benefits of this popular exercise.
As well as teaching Pilates classes Jo also works with the APPI as an
International Lecturer, teaching other Health Professionals the principles of
Pilates teaching, enabling them to take the exercise into their practice. This
side of her career has seen her travel to America in 2012 to teach 6 courses to
rehabilitation professionals. Jo also travels within the UK, lecturing regularly
on 3 different Matwork courses developed by the APPI. Having just had her second
child, Jo has added Antenatal and Postnatal rehabilitation Pilates classes to
the Flex Pilates' repertoire, teaching mums-to-be and new mums alike. After
struggling with a muscle separation (Diastasis Recti) with her pregnancy, Jo
used Pilates to re-strengthen her own core with great success. Jo is truly
passionate about Pilates and loves the way it can help transform an individual's
ability to function on a day-to-day basis.
